lists: In trenchant words he denoun cod the
lawless methods of the Reds" IT hera

when hungry men with hungry wives and
children at home have listened to the
fiashy sentences OF men who thought they
could interpose themselves between tho
laboring people and the steady march OF
law and order and justjcs. Acts OF vic.
lence followed. and, all too late. they
found they were not potent enough to
change the tide of affairs. Appeals to the
Justice Of the people will always result in

The Governor was often applaudedk and
his remarks as to violence wdFe understood
to be q statement Of his attitude in
the case Of the condemned anarchis ts.

No Advertising on Mall Matter.

The recent postal order, which includes
envelopes or wrappers bear ing advertise.
ments other than the name of the sender,
has aroused much interest among business
men. DR.. Day, postmaker at St Paul,
rendered the following opinion in the
matter:
It does not affect first.class
matter, but it does. second, third
and fourth classes. The law pre-.
scrihes what can be pub on tie outside,
and the strict Interpretation OF the rule
allows nothing else. On second.class mat.
ter, which is newspapers, the sender can
put on the date ut which the subscription
expires. or he can ioh inside a receipted
bin of the subscription. On third and
fou1thclass matter after the word from"
he can put the name of the sender-say,
John Smith, but he can't put on DR.. John
Smith. or John Smith, Grocer. Therefore
Uncle a!am's mails are protected from be-
ing used as an advertising medium.

Switzerland has become so dis.
turbed over the progress which Nor,
mon missionaries from this country
have recently made in some OF the
cantons in the matter OF proselytina
that it is seriously proposed to bring
the question to the attention of the
Swiss government. A returned emf
grant has converted almost an entire
village in that country to Mormonism
by his representations of the glories
OF Utah. 1t appears plain, by the
light OF such reports, why the latter
day saints are rapidly increasing in
number. The hosts of ignorant, dis
contented European peasantry are
the especial prey of the deluslon's
apostles. :'-

The jewelers. journal says that
"there has never been period in the
history Of the American watch trade
when the business was of such vast
proportions as now. All the larger
factories that have run all summer,

short interval, are behind orders at

OF good times. People do not buy
